Standard Error is a blog about the painful and unexpected parts of being alive. These parts tend to be squishy: love, art, religion, emotions, depression, psychology, philosophy, and the unavoidable flaws of being human. Secular interpretations of Christianity, Buddhism, and Daoism will come up frequently. Posts usually lean analytical, but also contain ample jokes and irreverence.

I started this in 2023 - an emotional garbage fire of a year. In a bid to avoid completely losing it, I decided to try writing one essay a day for 49 days. (I’ve heard that it takes 7 weeks to entrench a habit.) I completed this on August 20, 2023.

Now I keep it going with posts every month or so.

If you choose to follow along, thank you! 🙏 I would really value your feedback, both good and bad.
